Don't know anything about the Telegraph newspaper but they got one thing wrong: "floods in Australia" is absolutely wrong.
We face 6 months of drought. Floods occur during La Nina, so they have at least one report wrong. Maybe others.

Look at this one http://floodlist.com/australia and scroll down to see a few reports and photos from April this year. You only have to Google floods in Australia to see many, many reports of floods at various times. But also the Telegraph report merely states in one place that El Nino is linked to major global climate events, including ......... and floods in Australia, while in another para. it says [El Nino] threatens storms in ........ heavy storms and floods in western (sic) Australia.

Well, that is news to us and probably most or all Aussies who have been here for most of their lives.
The only good news for El Ninois that it will allow the strong westerly current off WA to reverse the devastating effects of the 2010-11 La Nina, which reduces the sea life to a minimum threshold.

That is mainly because the Southern Hemisphere has so much ocean in it and so few people actually get to see the lights.
Antarctica sports brilliant displays as does Patagonia and probably Kerguelen and Bouvetoya (penguins might like them) but that is about all. Those who live and work in Antarctica probably don't take too much notice after months of them.
